Breakouts on Chin After Juvederm

I had a facelift by a reputable plastic surgeion 6 weeks ago, along with 1 syringe of Juvederm in my lips. However, for the past 3 weeks, my chin has been breaking out a LOT. could I be allergic to the Juvederm and it's trying to work its way out of my face uner my lips? Only my chinis breaking out, nowhere else. The face lift and liposuction from my stomach for cheek injection are fine.

Juvederm would not cause acne break outs in other areas

There should be a different cause for your break outs than the Juvederm. Possibly a numbing cream, disinfectant or other cream applied to the whole face or region might be involved but I doubt the Juvederm caused your eruption.Your plastic surgeon would want to see you I'm sure so contact their office.

Probably not from Juvederm

Your acne is probably not from the Juvederm, especially since it is 6 weeks after the injection. Go back to see your dermatologist to get prescribed an acne medication which should help clear your chin up.

No, I wouldn't think so. I'm not sure that it's related to the Juvederm in your lips at all. It could be from something else. You should review your medications and anything else that you are using on your skin with your surgeon.

It is unlikely Juvederm would cause your skin to break out. Any filler or product placed in/on the lip that caused a reaction, the problem would be seen on the lip, not the chin. Talk to your plastic surgeon or a dermatologist.

Juvederm - acne

It's unlikely the Juvederm caused your breakouts. If you had an allergy your chin would be red, irritated, and swollen. I'm sure the acne will resolve but if it doesn't I recommend you see a dermatologist you trust.

Based on what you describe, there is nothing to suggest the acne breakout on your chin is related to Juvederm injection into your lips. People can have adverse reactions to fillers, but fillers are not a cause of acne. If you are having an acne breakout after facelift surgery, it can be related to so many other things, including the stress of surgery, the cleansing or prepping agent used before surgery, any tape that may have been in the area during surgery, any dressing covering the area after surgery, or ointments or other topical agents you may be using. Your surgeon can help you with identifying possible triggers, and can recommend a good skin care regiment to improve the acne. Good luck!
